Jamie Farr - biography

“You know what’s nice about Montreal?  Not only is it a beautiful city, but you have Cuban cigars.”

“When the show is over we still have to pay our rent, we have to buy food.  We have to do all the same things that you do.”

“I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.”

“Canadians send us great hockey players.  You also send us wonderful performers, from the beginning, with Mary Pickford.”

“If you want good sketches, go pick up Sid Caesar.  The best of Your Show of Shows.  That’s the greatest sketch comedy you’ll ever see on television.”

“Canada has given us John Candy and Martin Short and Bill Shatner and Lord knows how many other wonderful performers.”

“I certainly don’t have any airs about myself.”

“I did sketch comedy for years.  I’ve always enjoyed it.”

“I don’t think anybody is wanting to put me back on the air.  But I’m certainly out there trying.”

“The third year of MASH was when I realized I was a hit.”
